I've recently got re-interested in dreams, and lucid dreaming, and I'm curious if there are any games where dreaming plays a large part in the games gameplay, or story, or mood. It doesn't even have to say it's a dream. It could even just be dream-like, like Braid for example.
So, does anyone know of any games like this? If so, please, do tell.
Psychonauts is dream-like.
Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
Would Max Payne count?

Fuck I was going to post that :mad:.
LSD for the PS1
Hard to find, though.

I've played that game actually. Quite a bit.
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Keep em coming if you can.
The Silent Hill series is pseudo-related to dreams. The "scary" part of the game is created from the main character's unconscious, basically a dream.
Yume Nikki is about a girl that travels in her dreams. Very strange and unique (and free) game.
LSD, an old PS1 game, was all about dreams. There was a huge thread on it here at FP ages ago.

Edit: Holy hell, I'm blind.
in some parts of Batman: Arkham Asylum, batman dreams abount chesse, i mean his broken life.

Every level is basically a dream in it.
I think some people were planning on recreating LSD as a source mod.

good luck with that
Aye, Psychonauts is the first thing that sprang to my mind.
Max Payne's dream sequences are probably also the worst game levels I've ever suffered through. FEAR also has dream / hallucination sequences.
Looking down the stack of games in the corner of the room, I can't see any others. It's perhaps (thankfully), a very underused plot / game mechanic.
Zeno clash has some fucked up shit that's almost nightmarish.
Yeah, Psychonauts came to mind when I saw the thread title. It's one fucking awesome game I, if you haven't experienced it, GO AND PLAY!
MGS3 has a "dream"-ish part...
Just because I'm pedantic, Max Payne 2 as well. Doubt Max Payne 3 will have anything that good in it.
MP3 will suck. Hard. Like "CNC"4.
Moving on(and ontopic)
Silent Hill is THE dream game. It's a town that manifests your deepest desires and fears, knocks you out and wakes you up in different places, leaves endings ambiguous, what's not to like?
The new Batman Arkham Asylum also has a pretty good dream sub plot.
American McGee's Alice. Now have a nice dreams..
Fahrenheit? I'm not sure
Indigo Prophecy. Also known as Fahrenheit.
Condemned: Criminal Origins has that weird feeling of not being able to separate the real stuff from the hallucinations.
NiGHTS for the Sega Saturn.

I don't remember there being any dreams / hallucinations in Condemned?
Super Mario Bros 2.

Morrowind is somewhat related a lot to dreaming.
